<cut> This may not be of much value to you Jack, but if nothing else works you can always boot off a floppy. I have a mobile rack mounted in /dev/hdd position and by necessity have a boot floppy for each of the several drives that I might plug in there. Booting that way doesn't take much longer than from the hard drive and your lilo will still be available if you don't insert said floppy. John -- Powered by the Penguin
